Would anyone not under
the influence of drugs believe that NUS and NTU are better universities than
Princeton, Cornell or Yale? Well, some Singaporeans are gloating over this
great achievement by the two local universities, no ill intent in my statement
as one is my alma mater. I should be proud that my alma mater is better than
top Ivy League universities in the US. Soon many top American universities
would be asking for joint NUS degrees to boost up their reputation instead of
Singapore begging to host joint Singapore American university degrees here.

Some of the Singaporeans
that were so impressed with the rankings are the uninformed or ill informed
uncles in the kopitiams and aunties in the wet market. I heard them chirping
about it with great excitement, and I can understand, given their exposure and
lack of understanding on the QS criteria for judging.

Ok, maybe on face value,
maybe the top American universities are living on their past glories while NUS
and NTU are what they are today by today's standard. The good American
universities were good in the past but no longer. Time has changed. For the
well informed, the comments are different and some are outright cynical of the
outcome with good reasons. Below are some comments taken from the
onlinecitizen.'On Thursday (8 June),
Nanyang Technological University (NTU) was named Asia’s top university in the
2018 Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings, surpassing the
National University of Singapore (NUS).

NTU is also ranked 11th
in the world, ranking above other notable institutions such as Princeton
University, Cornell University and Yale University, and two positions above its
previous 13th spot.

Below is a response
written by John Ouserhout on question-and-answer site, Quora on
the question of "How accurate are the 2018 QS rankings? They seem to rank
Nanyang Tech higher than Princeton, Yale, Cornell, Columbia, and Berkeley."

Ouserhout's response in
full

First impressions
suggest it is almost laughably inaccurate. UC Berkeley at #27? This is
the same university that is affiliated with 91 Nobel Laureates, 13 Fields
Medals, 23 Turing Awards and 16 elements of the Periodic Table. The rest of the
ranking seems similarly strange as well; NUS and NTU ranked right alongside or
higher than Princeton, Cornell, Yale, Columbia and Johns Hopkins?

(Haha, this Ouserhout
does not know of the many great Nobel laureates hiding in the Singapore
universities or akan datang, ie coming soon, going to happen).

Is it just my
Anglo-American bias speaking? I know these universities have made rapid strides
in funding and encouraging cutting edge research, so perhaps it’s inevitable
that they’ve caught up and surpassed the more well known Ivy League
universities. That is obviously partly the case, but after digging around for a
bit, there seems to be a whole host of articles about the flawed methodology
and downright shady practices of the QS organisation.

Some of the flaw
methodology include counting more foreign students and faculty as good without
any relations to academic merits. More foreigners mean more points. How silly.

And 50% of the points
come from surveys from Academics and Employers. Look, there are hundreds of
good American universities and only 2 or 3 good Singapore universities. In the
latter, all the scores would go to these 2 or 3 universities while in the US
the scores would be thinly spread. See the flaw? Which university would the
Employers hired from? In the US they could hire from hundreds of universities
but only 2/3 in Singapore.

Ouserhout went on with
many other flaws in the methodology. Below are a few more.

A dubious Star ranking system,
where universities pay to be evaluated. (Conflicts of interest anyone?)

‘Branding Opportunities’ for
$80,000 with QS Showcase

A highly lucrative ‘consultancy
service’ to help universities rise up the rankings

In short, ranking
systems might have their flaws, but this one is downright shady and unethical.

No need to
say anything more, just let the daft to gloat over this mirage as a badge of
honour.I don’t blame the uncles in the
kopitiams or the aunties in the wet market. I understand where they are coming
from. Would any reputable academics bother to question the allegation by Ouserhout that the ranking system 'is downright shady and unethical'?

Many people are aghast at the merging of 4 JCs all of a sudden. Many are still in a state of shock with mouths still unable to close, jaws locked, muscle cramped. How could this kind of things happen in this so well planned little city when every piece of stone, every single plant is carefully planted after very well conceived thoughts by our very able and proactive govt that is always looking ahead for problems?

To make things more bizarre is the opening of Enoia (not sure if I get the spelling right) JC just a year ago and now closed shop. Anyone worry about the money wasted? We are not talking of closing of one JC but 4 JCs. Did anyone see this coming? Why, suddenly Rip Van Winkle woke up and found that there is not enough enrolment for JC classes and 4 JCs are redundant, with excess capacity that may turn out to look like ghost colleges, JCs without students?

When the MOE was split to be helmed by two full ministers, everyone would not be wrong to think that this education job is expanding, growing so big and one minister would not be able to cope with the workload. How is this closing of 4 JCs related to the need for two ministers in MOE? If there are not enough students for JCs, would it also mean that more secondary and primary schools would also be facing the same problem and more would also have to be closed or merged? Read somewhere that 28 secondary schools would also be merged.

What happened to all the students that are supposed to fill up the JC places and also the primary and secondary schools? They did not build all these schools without planning, without knowing how many students are coming on board. Did the students disappear overnight like MH370? How can, the Population Dept and MOE must have been tracking the numbers and know exactly how many students were there and how many schools and JCs would be needed. Why like dat one?

I thought about this problem very seriously and came out with a few possible answers. I am not going to blame on twits that could not plan or did not know what was happening and how many students were there that need to go to school but the twits did not know. My first thought is that the thousands of scholarships to foreign students, paid by our tax payers in the billions, must have been frozen. This could be a possibility and could explain why suddenly there is no student or not enough students overnight. Overseas students can come in or not come in like turning on/off a tap.

Another possible answer, many are going to India to have their education to make sure that they could get a decent job here after graduating from the Indian universities. Why not, all the talents here are from India and Indian universities, the professionals, the academics, the IT experts and what nots, are all from India. Their education system is world best, proven and endorsed by Singapore. So many students must have jumped ship and enrolled in Indian JCs and subsequently planning to go on to Indian universities.

Another possible reason, many may have taken the advice of our ministers that there is no need for a good degree that cannot be eaten. What is the point of a degree when one aspires to be a taxi driver or a hawker? So the parents and students are now wiser and stopped enrolling into JCs here and waste precious money or forcing their parents to sell their homes to finance their education abroad.

Maybe there are other reasons for the sudden disappearance of JC students, but these are the dumb reasons that I am able to think of for this fiasco or shall I call it miracle, another planned miracle that is uniquely Singapore? Is it so difficult to know how many students are out there that need places in schools and JCs? Would big data help?

A student scoring 97/100 for Chinese is considered not good enough, not qualified to take Higher Chinese? This was what happened in St Hilda Primary School.Remember the media report, 99% passed O level with 1 pass?

Let me quote a few paragraphs posted in an article in the statestimesreview.

“We acknowledge St. Hilda’s good intentions in making sure students who want to take Higher Chinese are well-suited and also ready to take on the subject because it also entails extra curricular time and a heavier study load for the child.”

...Some of the students scored a near-perfect score of 97 out of 100 marks for the Chinese language but were still rejected nonetheless.

However, the primary school succumbed to public criticisms and opened an additional class to accommodate students who wish to take up Higher Chinese. PAP MP Low Yen Ling confirmed the knee-jerk reaction in Parliament:”

Why 97 marks not good enough? Then what is good enough? 100 marks? If 97 marks are not good enough, I think anyone getting 97 marks will get a A*,what are the implications on the marking system? Are they saying that A* are not really good enough when everyone has the impression that A* is like distinction? How are the teachers going to tell parents that their children with 97 marks are NOT GOOD enough? How are the children going to face their parents and how are parents going to receive this ‘bad’ news, that their children scoring 97 marks, good enough for a celebration to most parents but really not good enough?

If all the students scoring 97 marks in their subjects are not good enough, what about those scoring 70 marks, 50 marks? Is this a way to tell the parents and children that the 97 marks are a farce, that the grading system is a farce? How on earth could anyone tell a child that 97 marks are not good enough?

What is going on? Is this an indication of something not very right in our education system or in the grading system? Is this the reason why our Singaporean graduates with their straight As are not wanted, not really good, not good enough because.....?

Is there something seriously wrong being revealed unintentionally by this case? What is the truth? Is this the reason why third world students and their funny grades are preferred to be better than the grades obtained in our supposedly world class schools and education system? Is this the reason why third world degrees are better than our degrees? The implications are very serious.

This is
posted in the statestimesreview, ‘Singapore’s
government university, the National University of Singapore (NUS) has been
ranked by Times Higher Education at fourth position for having the most
international presence in the world. Ranked by anonymous “international
scholars”, the survey ranked NUS by the number of international students it
accepts, international staffs it hires and international publications made. It
is understood that NUS’s rule of reserving a minimum of 20% of its places for
foreigners as a major factor behind the survey’s strong standing.’

Is this something to be excited about,
something to be proud of, something silly to be craving for? More foreign
students means lesser places for our children and more parents have to empty
their saving banks or sell their homes to send their children overseas. More
foreign staff means lesser Singaporeans are employed and in the long run the
emptying of Singaporeans in the academia. Are these good for Singapore and
Singaporeans?

Why is the govt spending so much money
on foreign students, many on scholarship and big money to pay the foreign
academic staff? Is public money being applied responsibly and in the best and
efficient way to benefit Singaporeans? Is Singapore turning itself into a Santa
Claus to foreign students and foreign academic staff?

What is more important, educating our
own students, ensuring that Singaporeans become eminent academics or feeding
the foreigners and educating the foreigners?

In a modern cosmopolitan city in the
21st Century when transportation and communication are so convenient, is there
a need to have so many foreigners here just to expose our students to
foreigners as if they are living in little remote villages and never seen or
knew a foreigner before? So there is this compulsion to bring foreigners here
to integrate will our hillbillies or kampong kids or they will become ignorant
of foreigners and their cultures and thinking?

I saw this runner on the TV screen. ’99.9% O level students passed at least one subject’. Wow, what a great achievement. Our education system or the teachers have done well, very well. Or is it the students have done exceptionally well? 99.9%passed! Wait a minute, passed at least one subject? What does this mean? Passed one subject also passed? I have left school for so long and I know that in my time passing one subject is as good to repeat in Sec 4. Passing 3 subjects also considered failed in my time. You need to pass at least 4 or 5 subjects and with some decent grades to pass and get a Grade 3. Now passed one subject can already, passed?

I am out of touch. Is this the reason why the employers have no faith in our education system when passing one subject is considered passed and something to rejoice, to shout about? What is the truth? Would the student with one or two passes go home and announce to papa and mama, ‘I passed, one subject’ and get rewarded?

The statement is very honest or very dishonest or honest dishonest? Ok, there was another banner that stated something like 84.3% passed at least 5 subjects. Though we must not embarrass or discourage those that did not do well, but we must be honest with them, that one pass does not qualify to pass the whole examination. Or maybe nowadays there is no such thing as pass or fail an examination. Just count the number of passes good enough. What a merry world of semantics and make beliefs. Yes, say the right things and hear the good stuff.

In an
article in the Today paper on 11 Oct titled ‘Govt paints dire picture of
mismatch between jobs and skills’, ‘…Lim Swee Say cautioned that the low jobs
growth could persist and Singapore faces the prospect of rising unemployment if
it does not minimize the job skills mismatch and strive for quality economic
growth. With the number of locals seeking work far outstripping the number of
jobs added by “many things” last year, Mr Lim stressed the need to “maximise
the connectivity between job opportunities and job seekers.”’

What is the
problem? Mismatch of job and job seekers? Why mismatch? Aren’t the job seekers
the products of world best universities, top, top universities? Why got
mismatch? Whose fault is it if top, top universities produced graduates that
could not match the job opportunities in the market?

Why are the
products from Indian universities got no problem with job mismatch? Should not
the MPs raise this question in Parliament? Should not the MP recommend the
closing down of our world best universities that are producing graduates that
could not fit into the market, mismatch? Should not the MPs recommend that we
send our young to be educated in Indian universities so that they would not be
mismatched and be employable in our job market?

Who is at
fault? Who is in charge and responsible for producing graduates that are needed
in the market? No is one responsible? No one responsible for our world best
university education with world best fees and ended up mismatched?

What is
happening? Just shout job mismatch and no not my problem any more. Surely someone
must answer to this fiasco. So much money wasted and so much time wasted and
our young graduates at a lost, mismatch after spending all those years in the
world’s best universities run by the best foreigners money can buy? Should someone be held responsible for ruining
the lives of our young graduates, for ruining the hopes of their parents?

Read this article then you will understand the ridiculous stress & large financial expenses that young S’porean students & their parents are subjected to. I can understand if parents think that it’s an investment for their children, but in today’s technologically-driven environment, would such investments pay back in the future given the foreigner influx & the poor job creation situation in Singapore.

The education process in Singapore is so stressful, expensive & time-consuming but is it worth in terms of payback? Frankly, NO! S’pore’s educational system is not state-of-the-Art!

Back between 1980s to 1990s, a degree would have meant lots of jobs, high pay & no waiting period between leaving a job & finding another. Educational investment then would have been worthwhile but it was only at best an exceptional decade of payback.

Post-2000s, many became unemployed; underemployed or forced into early retirement! Today, many could only think about the good old days which are never coming back! – Many PMEs made redundant Post-2000 spent monies retraining & taking courses only to find themselves competing against hordes of foreigners willing to undercut in terms of salary.

They thought it was cyclical but it was actually a Fundamental Structural Shift! Frankly, migrating would have been a better option! – A degree would be relatively worthless these days because you would be competing against fake, forged or bought degree holders brought in through the open-door policy.

I see a lot of bright, young degree/diploma holders being reduced to touting; employed by banks to sell financial products at MRT stations to any walking person passing by! It’s a waste of talent when they should be formulating on-line websites to sell instead. But this is the nature of Singapore economy – Misusing human resources to grind out small gains by working them hard & for what?

Olympic Gold winner Joseph Schooling had to go to the US to further his swimming career at the age of 14 years old. He won Olympic Gold because he went to a State-of-the-Art system which provides leading edge training systems as well as dietitian programs designed for sports nutrition & recovery!

If you want your children to have a good education, either migrate as a family or send them abroad to the best Western schools. Otherwise, you’re just throwing money into the drain. THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM HAS FAILED!

I dreamt
that in the future all our students would turn out to be scientists and
engineers equipped to live in a futuristic world with all the skill sets they
need embedded in them by a microchip. No need to go to school to learn anything
anymore except morality and moral values. And they will live through their
lives like perfect human beans, with no sickness as this will be taken care of
by the microchip that regularly dispensed medicine and supplements needed for
their good health. And their intelligence will be several notches higher than
the average beans around the world.

Then I woke
up to a rude shock. The plight of the PMETs are still around where many are still
unemployable as they no longer have the skill sets to fit into the workforce.
What is happening? We are trying and planning for the future but forgot about
the Now, the people that are living now and turning obsolete, falling down the
economic and social ladder of the society.

Then I read
the papers and was again filled with hopes and promises of a greater future as
the govt are tweaking the education system again to be the best education
system in the world, to teach and educate our people to be the brightest and best
all rounder, and most important, to be employable again. But the result is in
the future and we will have to wait for that to happen, maybe in SG100 when
Singaporeans will be the happy people, fully employed and leading a good life.

Then I
started thinking, what is the point of the future when the present is a
failure, when our people from our education system are no longer competitive
and no skill sets to even get a job. So, before we embark on another wild goose
chase, another untested experiment, we need to know what is the basis of our
futuristic education system, proven or modelled after some successful model or
just another trial balloon? Because someone took some drugs and hallucinated
that this is the best way to go?

Why don’t we
do the real thing, the logical thing, look at the successfulo working models
and copy what people have done successfully, no need to reinvent the wheel when
the wheel is another trail and error, unproven game of hope? Look at all the
talented people that are coming to Singapore to replace our no skill set PMETs
and young graduates! Does that ring a bell, that these are the products of a
good education system, to be able to produce the graduates and professionals
needed by our industries? If our education system can do the same, there is no
need to keep tweaking and toying around our education system and telling the
people it is really good.

Be real.
Look at the countries that are producing the talents that we need. The most
talents we are getting are from India. This is the hard truth. You can see them
all over Raffle Place, MBFC and Changi Business Park, or is it now called
Chennai Business Park? What does it
mean? It’s so simple. The Indians are doing all the right things in their
education system. No need silly and
expensive foolish ideas. Just get the basics of education right. That is why we
are hiring all the Indian professionals with the right skill sets to replace
our no skill sets PMETS and young graduates. It must be. We can’t be hiring
them if they are no good unless we are so hopelessly stupid. We can’t be
employing fakes and cheats to replace our PMETs right?

So, with
this understanding clear and bright, the solution is very simple. Stop mucking
around with our education system and pretend that we are doing the right thing.
And those people who have no idea of what education of the young is all about
better shut up and don’t pretend they know. Go to the experts, go to the
countries that have done it, and done it well. And no country has done it
better than India. The results showed. Walk around Raffles Place and MBFC and
you will know where the foreign talents came from.

I would
advise the MOE to stop mucking around, send our MOE staff to India to learn
from them. They know best and are producing the best talents that are in our
industries and govt services too. And in the interim, before waiting for the
result to be seen in 20 years or 30 years down the road, quick, send our A
level students to the universities in India for their undergraduate and post
graduate studies. Forget about NUS, NTU, SMU. Forget about the Ivy League
universities in UK or USA. Send them to India, University of Mumbai is one of
the best in India. That would be a good start.

The success
of India’s education is no fluke shot. Look at the number of Indian nationals
helming big corporations in the USA, the UK and also Europe would be enough
testimonies to logically conclude that India is doing the right thing. They are
producing the world’s current and future honchos in the corporate world and do
not need all the silly university rankings to feel good. Their universities are
unranked, many several hundred notches down the ladder of infamy according to
those ranking agencies. But the Indians are soaring to the sky. And this is
real, not magic!

Stop all the
funny tweakings and experiments using our young as guinea pigs. Haven’t we
wasted a whole generation of our graduates with no skill sets from our world
best universities?

Stop smoking.
I too have woken up and seen the reality. We have an education system that
looks good on paper but cannot be eaten, not worth a cent but the students have
to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to complete the highly flawed system
that at best is dysfunctional, the graduates good to be taxi and crane drivers
or hawkers.We need another 30 years to
produce top finance and banking professionals!!!! What kind of shit is that?
What are we going to do in the meantime? What have we been doing in the last
two or three decades?

Would anyone dare to say that the Indian
graduates we hired are rubbish and we are hiring all the rubbish and to
say what I wrote is rubbish?

Just heard
this over the news that a top tutor in Hongkong could earn up to HK$2m a month.
Now that is a cool S$400k! These tutors must be really good and doing a very
good service to the students needing their services. It must be money worth spent or the tutors
would fold up in days or weeks, if they could not deliver.

I am sure
tutors in Singapore are also doing pretty well tutoring
our students, for all levels. Tuition is also not only an industry but a must
as part of our education system. Many weak students could do with the help of a
good tutor to get that elusive A that is a must to move on.

Though the
tutors here are not earning the kind of money like their Hongkong counterparts,
many are doing it full time and the rewards are quite good or exceedingly good
to some good tutors. For those students that could afford the fees, well and
good, nothing to complain about. There must be many that would like the
assistance of a tutor to give them that little lift they needed so badly if
only they could afford it.

I am
thinking of launching a mail service to review and comment essays for O and A
level students, for a little fee of course, for Singaporeans and foreign
students. I could even do it for free for Singaporeans if needed. Students
interested can email me their essays and I will do the necessary. I am putting
this up on a trial basis.

I have
edited a few essays before and found that generally the students here are able
to write a decent piece, but with a little help and pointers here and there, it
would make the difference between an A or a B grade.

Those
interested can start sending their essays to me with immediate effect. I am not
doing this to make millions. Just to give a little assistance where needed, to
those that can do with a little help. My email, redbeansg@yahoo.com.

Once again, 2 of Singapore’s top 4 Universities are ranked among the global top 10 for 15 subjects, according to the 2016 Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings by Subjects. The National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) are at top 10 in the QS 2016 World University Rankings just-released by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS). And since only UK and US Universities were ranked better, it means that Singapore NUS and NTU are the best Universities in Asia.

And yes, this is the same QS Ranker whose annual QS World University Ranking was condemned by eminent Chicago University Professor Brian Leiter, Karl N. Llewellyn Professor of Jurisprudence and Director of Center for Law, Philosophy, and Human Values, as“a fraud on the public”. Another scholar, Professor Simon Marginson, an eminent scholar in international higher education, had also criticized “QS simply doesn’t do as good a job as the other rankers that are using multiple indicators”.

It is common knowledge that QS methodology contains serious fundamental conceptual and methodological flaws to render QS Rankings practically useless, irrelevant and immaterial for any serious educational policy purpose. Under scrutiny, the QS Ranking Methodology should have failed to withstand the penetrative professional scrutiny of truly Top Academics and Research Institutions like NTU and NUS, who instead now endorse the spurious Rankings results so as to position themselves dishonestly in full knowledge of the lack of validity and reliability of their proxy measures and methodology.

In return for dancing and cavorting with bogus University Rankers like QS and THE, we received for our legacy excellent Universities a Brand of Questionable Authenticity. This is a disservice to Singapore and Singaporeans.

By embracing misleading University Rankers like QS and THE, NTU and NUS administrators, senior manager and Professors have been disingenuous and unprincipled in conferring legitimacy on the meaningless results of what essentially are bogus ranking standards of dubious University excellence.

The successful Annual seduction of NTU and NUS by “beauty contest” University rankings can only be attributed to either sheer mindless stupidity, or the abject ignorance of rigorous, sophisticated and transparent scientific research methods.

In fact, one of QS’ competitors, the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Ranker, had in fact pointed out that QS employed a “very, very weak and simplistic methodology” to assess universities worldwide. According to THE, the QS’ “weak” methodology has actually ranked undeserving Malaysian Universities to be of world-class status when they were “way off” from being so, and thereby gave Malaysian education authority an “over-optimistic, distorted” idea of how local varsities actually fare.

All the World University Rankers use different factors and criteria to “measure” University excellence. None has any scientific basis for their choice of proxies for University quality. None have in fact published their methodology nor subject it to the vigorous due diligence expected of a simple research paradigm.

Actually, QS themselves have "been surprised by the extent to which governments and university leaders use the rankings to set strategic targets. We at QS think this is wrong. …" And added: "Ranks should not be a primary driver of university mission statements and visions. …. "

NTU became a full-fledged University in 1991. It is noteworthy that by April 2001, NTU's research had resulted in 20 spin-off companies with many funded by venture firms, with 150 disclosures, 76 patents filed and 30 patents granted. The research papers of its staff and students in refereed international journals also won numerous awards in international competitions and conferences.

In the recent 8 years, NTU has re-directed its energy and resource to satisfy the bogus criteria/standard of dubious University excellence purveyed by Rankers such as QS and THE. And as it improved on its meaningless Rankings on the QS and THE, its earlier highly visible impact of entrepreneurship, patents and innovations disappeared strangely from its list of true achievements. These never returned.

The impact of NTU and NUS on Singapore students and society cannot be measured by the degrees of newly ascribed dubious proxies of excellence defined by bogus “World University Ranking” Standards. It can only be measured in terms of their contribution to the happiness and well-being of stakeholders and of the Singapore and global communities to which we belong and serve.

It is more important what we think of our own Universities and what they have achieved for our young people, our communities and our nation. What foreigners think of us using irrelevant and bogus criteria should not make us unhappy.

A University’s contribution to society is its sufficient measure. The important thing is to let other people think whatever they want, and not to lose one’s self-esteem by letting others diminish the accolades of our genuine acclaims and true achievements, so that we can lend them our excellent reputation of authenticity and honesty to cover up their lack of credibility, validity and reliability.

We should stop participating in any and all the fraudulent World Universities Rankings, so as to stop endorsing such bogus standards of dubious quality excellence.
